X - MAN

Hey ,

so.....Vacation is over....I {met} and Exceeded my goal of 3 finished shots. I ended up with about 10 finished shots ...POWERFULL!!! This came out to about 39 seconds of new Character animation. This officially puts me over the halfway Mark!! Im sitting just a couple seconds shy of 3 minuets. Crossing those Xs off my storyboards is really satisfying!
I also was able to edit my first couple of sequences together and It was really really exciting!!
Whats been in my head for 1 year and a half is Taking shape.....and Its so magical to me! Now I have to do my best to make sure the audiance likes it too.Thats the hard part???
I must now reestablish my flow at my day job then will go right into a new series of shots....which show Geralds ever decreasing excitement in seeing the new visitors to the pound.....More challenges ahead but I go into this next set less anxious than normal...I feel

I can see the shots already....just have to jump in and make them happen.
this week will go slow till I'm back on my feet at work....geting ready for a next big push.

You gotta bend my ear one of these days and explain how you foam your puppets. It's too freakin' hot in my world for anything else.
